Monitor standby in console?

[Peter Loron]

I've got a FC3 box that is usually just sitting in console mode 
(runlevel 3) at the login prompt. The monitor I have it connected to 
has dual inputs and my Mac is connected to the other port. Once the Mac 
goes to sleep, the monitor stays powered up because it is apparently 
not getting the standby signal from the FC3 box. When I was running KDE 
there, it was sending the proper signals, and the monitor would go into 
standby properly.

Any ideas how to get the proper energy management signal(s) to be sent 
when in console mode?

Thanks.
